After Abu Ghraib
The 'After Abu Ghraib' project is undertaken to stimulate a conversation about human rights violations and the widespread use of torture. By manipulating the original images, my intention is to make them more accessible than they are in the straight forward horror they evoke. I have watched too many persons turn away from these naked and reprehensible acts, and in our forgetting, we give away our core sense of goodness and humanity. We all owe a profound apology and debt to the victims depicted in these images."
